So, this is how observant I am, it took me three weeks before I noticed that Wenatchee’s Sonic Drive-In was closed. I admit that I may be one of the reasons why, I have only eaten at Sonic one time since they have been here. Now here we are with this great location for a fast-food place and is anyone looking at it?

In 1995, a renegade cow, paintbrush in mouth, painted the three words "EAT MOR CHIKIN" on a Texas billboard. From that day forward, the burger-eating landscape was forever changed.

Regional Fast Food Chains Tri-Cities Needs

As Tri-Cities keeps growing, we've seen more fast-food chains bring their food into our community. But we'd be lying if we said we didn't want a few more to set up shop down the street. Chicken sandwiches, sliders, deep-dish pizza; we'll take it all. These are the regional joints we can't wait to welcome with open mouths.
